Gulliard vs Varner is a great fight
UPDATE: Shane Carwin out due to knee injury
Carwin is like Samuel l Jackson’s character in unbreakable. Fuck just retire already!
Good guy to watch fight, and a hell of a nice guy, but Jesus!!!
UPDATE: Matt Mitrione replaces injured Shane Carwin against Roy Nelson
@ Idolmaker,
There’s early reports stating that Carwin’s career may be over! Sounds dependent on what doc says or may recommend for rehab?
Funny how Mitrione steps up to fight Nelson on 4 weeks notice but wouldn’t take on Browne on short notice??? I think he had better odds with Browne than Nelson no?
Nelson runs over Mitrione.
Way too early in Matt’s career for him to face someone like Nelson.
Horrible place for the UFC to be in. They weren’t assured a win by Carwin and now they’re stuck with this fat, bearded guy who likes to play up the hillbilly angle who they seem to desperately want to be rid of. Mind you, as an avowed Nelson fanboi, this Duck is happy to see Roy work even if it will be an easier fight with less meaning and impact on the HWT rankings.

Wow mitrione in the main event, you know its a weak card when…. When i bought my ticket I was hoping to see Roy get smashed, Worts TUF coach EVER!!!
You were going to be disappointed either way apparently.
Props to mike ricci for making it the the finale off of a BRUTAL standing elbow KO!! Really excited to watch him become the first Canadian to win TUF!!
UPDATE: Added Mike Ricci vs. Colton Smith
